RF and Millimeter Wave Test Chamber Design

Radar and RF products need a controlled environment for repeatable testing, but commercial chambers can be large, expensive, and not quite right for a specific product. A purpose-built chamber can test what you need, in the space you have, at a cost that makes sense for your program. SGW designs and builds RF and millimeter wave test chambers. Our work includes custom fixturing that positions the device under test precisely, motion control for repeatable test scenarios, and waveguide packaging that simulates long ranges in a compact footprint. When a client entering the 77 GHz radar market found commercial chambers too costly and incomplete, SGW developed a practical alternative. As the program evolved after the client's acquisition by Sensata, we adapted the design for multiple chamber sizes and delivered eight fully assembled, validated, production-ready chambers with automated motion and fixturing controls.
